Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

There's this little robin that hangs out in my back yard, it's so tiny and cute. One day I was outside in the yard and it was on a table nearby checking me out. I extended my hand and it sat on it, for a second I was totally amazed at what happened. Then it shat all over my hand and fucked right off.

That is how birds do.

At the top of a mountain I climb for training there are birbs that will swoop down out of the trees and take grapes right out of your hands if you hold your hand up with a grape in it. It's quite amazing! I haven't been crapped on yet though.
